I can boot into XP fine, but its not stable yet. Everest's stability test would detect error after ~5min of running.

My spec:

Q6600 VID: 1.2625 (according to core temp)
NB idle: ~57 C
NB load: ~64 C

BIO Settings Screeshot:

You have many issue...
266 strap will be hard to get stable
tref at 42 or whatever it was will not work for 8GBs of ram, 55 or higher will be rquired for stability.
your NB temp is kinda high imo, you should look at trying to lower the temp.

425x8 850MHz ram PL7 (6 with phase pullins) would be a better option, you can tweak the ram timing to get your bandwidth down
